Blackmagic Design Streaming Encoder 4K

The Streaming Encoder 4K is a self-contained hardware H.264/H.265 encoder that streams directly to YouTube, Facebook, X, and similar platforms via SRT or RTMP, without needing a computer running streaming software. A 12G-SDI input handles HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60, and built-in Ethernet or phone tethering (5G/4G) gives it redundant internet connectivity that automatically fails over if the primary connection drops. It pairs with the separately available Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K to build point-to-point internet broadcast links, complete with tally, talkback, and camera control passed back to the source end.
